I did have these CPMs a few years ago, but then it was cut down to 25% of what I once had (the highest) but now the current CPM equals the highest I had until late 2017. It was only towards the last quarter of 2017 that CPM shot up a lot and even outperformed my best from the previous 6 years I was here.

Jeremy, it's $3-4 above the first week in Jan. But it is still $7 lower than the average of December. But, the current CPM is $1 lower than my highest ever up to mid-2017. I think that's something to be happy about. I don't want to compare it to Dec 2017.

Is it lower than what you had at the same time last year? January did see a drop as expected. But for most of us who've spoken on the forums it is still relatively higher than January 2017. For me, it's still higher than most of last year.

I'm not an expert, I can't say for sure, but I've been on here a few years and can say that January is never a great month CPM wise. I even went back and looked over my history here to confirm that. However, this is still, hands down, the best January I've ever had. I wouldn't let it rattle you too much.

In my experience, anything I've written this time of year makes a lot of money during the following summer and fall. I think the reason for this is that traffic IS high post-Christmas (people are stuck inside Googling) and that builds rank for new articles so that by summer, they're ranking high when CPMs are also higher.

My CPM is lower than December of course, but it is still higher than any other month before, outside of random days when it was strangely elevated.I presume we're not supposed to say exactly what our CPMs are, since nobody mentions their precise numbers? Regardless, they're about normal or a bit higher than what I had the last few months, and significantly higher than previous to that.

Just jumping to traffic. Although my CPMs are better than last January, my traffic has taken quite a dip since December. I know that usually happens in January. However, I'm trying to remember when it picks up again....
